Whether you're single and preparing, engaged and learning, or married and growing, this message is packed with wisdom and hope. Pastor Ken breaks down: Why marriage is about sacrifice, not self-fulfillment How mutual submission creates unity, not control The importance of submitting to Christ before submitting to each other What husbands and wives are called to be — not just do This episode is a call to rise above cultural noise and build homes founded on God's truth.

In this bold and timely message from the Summer of Change series, Pastor Ken Senchal challenges the way many of us view the Church.

What does it really mean to deny yourself in today's world? In this powerful episode, Pastor Ken Senchal takes us into three unforgettable moments in Jesus' final hours:

What would you trade for Jesus? In this challenging and thought-provoking message, Pastor Ken Senchal walks us through a moment that changed everything—a moment of extravagant worship... and devastating betrayal. A woman, moved by deep love for Jesus, breaks open a priceless alabaster jar and pours it all out to honor Him. Her act of worship is so radical, so costly, that even the disciples are uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Judas Iscariot is negotiating a deal to betray Jesus—for the price of a slave.

Is Jesus the foundation you're building your life on—or the stone you're tripping over? This week, Pastor Ken dives into Matthew 21 and confronts the ultimate question: What are you building your life on? When Jesus was questioned about His authority, He didn't back down. He told the truth boldly, revealing that He is the Cornerstone—and all who reject Him will fall.

This week, we're diving into one of the most radical and revealing moments in Jesus' ministry: the cleansing of the temple. In “Flipping the Script,” Pastor Ken Senchal walks us through Matthew 21:12–17 and shows us that Jesus wasn't just flipping tables—He was flipping perspectives, priorities, and hearts. What started as righteous anger over spiritual corruption became a bold declaration that God's house—and our lives—are meant to be holy ground. The same Spirit that walked into Herod's temple now dwells in us. And that means it's time to take a hard look at what we've allowed to move in and crowd out God's presence. Whether it's pride, addiction, apathy, lust, or spiritual laziness, this message will challenge you to clean house, renew your hunger for holiness, and allow God to do a fresh work in your life. You'll see that healing and miracles always follow when Jesus is given full access to the temple—your heart.
